For some reason, upon resolving the "|" after a drag&drop action, the file paths/names(s) containing spaces are put into quotation marks while those without spaces are not.
I found this very bothersome and can see no reason for this lack of consistency (unless it be technical / OS-related). Since I wanted the buttons in question to run different commands depending on whether the button was simply clicked or had files dropped on it, I needed to check if the string "|" had a length greater than 1. If this was true, files would have been dropped and I could have gone from there. However, whenever the file name(s) contained a blank, I would get an error message, because there were two double quotes at the beginning and end of the filename. Thus, none of the string operations can be used reliably with "|". Neither could I use the _file_ variable instead because it is sometimes used elsewhere in PowerPro and will occasionally still be set to an unrelated file name from some previous action. In such a case if one of the buttons in question was only clicked, it would be wrongly assumed that files were dropped and errors would ensue. After extensive experimentation, I had to use a workaround involving putting | on the clipboard and using the sting functions on clip.get. If there is an easy way to fix this, I think it should have a high priority since this is bound to beat any newbe. Thanks & best wishes Phil
